As a capacity-building organization, RECOFTC improves the ability of people and organizations to conduct community forestry effectively and sustainably. Over the past two decades, we have trained 10,000 people from more than 20 countries in devolved forest management — from national policy makers, researchers, and practitioners, right through to local forest users. Training and other learning events are central to all of RECOFTC's work. We support these efforts with on-the-ground projects, critical issue analysis, and strategic communication.
